Just noticed this host as my wingman shouldn't he be running 4 cpu's instead of 2 Host
or is it because of his OS, I know nothing about debian

OS's can misreport the number of cpus and the cpu speed...among other things....
Don't worry about it....just watch the crunch times......that's all that matters....

The host you point to is a Core2 Duo running Darwin...
2 cores residing on a single CPU... reports as expected for this type processor.

I thought that would mean 2 cores with HT giving 4 all together, don't core 2's support HT ?

Nope.......a core 2 means 2 cores, no HT........
If you want 4 cores, ya gotta get an Intel Quad.......

It's two different worlds, AMD and Intel.......

Actually, Intel thinks that Core 2 is the brand (marketing name) for an architecture level. What the reset of us call Conroe.

The "2", in Core 2 does not denote number of cores at all, that comes from Duo (2) or Quad(4). Marketing wants us to think it the second generation of "Core" architecture.

But I agree, the Conroe-generation design does not support hyperthreading. That apparently is meant to return in the Nehalem generation (doubtless with a new marketing name).

Terminology nitpicking aside, I agree with your response, a CPU with the Core 2 Duo designation should be expected to participate in BOINC terminology as number of CPUs:2.

Definitely an iMac, and not running V8 on it either.

But not all Core 2s are Conroes. There are Conroe2Ms (Conroe Ls), Allendales, Meroms, Woodcrest, Penryn, Kentsfield, Yorkfield and Wolfdales that are all Core 2 CPUs. Conroe is only a small part of the Core 2 family.

But they all crunch like madmen..............it's the floating point thingy......

But he could have a dual socked MOBO with 2 Core 2 Duos on it. That would make 4 CPUs. If he has not changed the default for the allowed number of CPUs in a long time that could be 2 rather than 4 or, he could have intentionally have set to use 2 CPUs in this case.

But.....but........there are always work arounds......I could have any of my rigs report that they had 32 cores.........
Would that just tweak the heck outta some folks.......

What was the line from the movie 'Swordfish'.......?

Ummmm WHAT??????? dual Socket 775's? what board do you speak of?

THAT's what many have been hoping for.........
But I an not sure that the standard 775 processors are capable of running in tandem......they are not Xeons.......might be something at the base architecture level that prevents it........

HT as in HyperThreading is what the OP was asking about, Core2 doesn't support HyperThreading, As this has nothing to do with AMD, As AMD has never done HyperThreading, Just HyperTransport which is totally different and is only a bus standard like pci or pci-e.
